Controller movement inverted in Genshin Impact (Switch controller detected as PlayStation)

Hi everyone, I need some help with a controller issue in Genshin Impact.

I’m playing on PC and using a Nintendo Switch controller (Mytrix Pro model), but the game is recognizing it as a PlayStation controller.

Whenever I move the joystick forward or backward, the movement is inverted. For example, when I try to move down/back, the character moves up/forward, and vice versa.

On top of that, some buttons don’t work at all — especially the E skill, which just doesn’t respond.

I’ve checked the in-game controller settings and didn’t see anything obvious. This problem only happens with the controller; keyboard and mouse work fine.

Has anyone else dealt with this issue or knows how to fix inverted movement and missing button inputs when a Switch controller is detected as a PlayStation controller? Any help would be appreciated 🙏

You gotta manually look for genshinimpact.exe in the instalation folder

Try exiting out of steam before launching the game. Steam's controller settings sometimes take over other games and mess them all up.

i had no idea you could use switch controllers on PC.

If it's not emulating an Xbox controller, it would need to emulate a PS controller, because Switch is not an officially supported control type on PC.
